Glacier National Park - Ranger-Led Programs

Glacier Park Ranger Programs

Our scheduled activities include a variety of ranger-led programs, from easy walks and evening talks, to all-day hikes and boat tours. Special Native American events, outdoor education programs, and interpretive boat tours are also presented by our park neighbors and partners.

Our Ranger-led Activity Schedules are made available about 3 weeks before each program segment begins. Each schedule covers 3-4 weeks at a time. Programs start mid-June and generally conclude at the end of September.

What to Bring Hiking
•Sturdy foot gear is a must for all but the very easiest of hikes. Everyone should have good boots, with strong support, to help prevent ankle injuries.
•Bring water with you! The mountains can get very hot in the summer. Surface water in the park may be unsafe to drink.
•Mosquitoes and flies can be bothersome. Come prepared with repellent to meet some of Glacier’s smaller wildlife species.
•A day of hiking can expose you to more sun and UV rays than normal. Wear a hat and sunscreen. It will help keep you cool and prevent a sunburned scalp!
•Weather can change quickly. Come prepared with rain gear for summer showers.
•Bring something to eat while you are in the backcountry. If you are on an all-day hike or a hike over the noon hour, you’ll get mighty hungry without lunch. Remember, if you pack it in, pack it out.
•Children are welcome on interpretive activities, but should always be accompanied by an adult.
•Come prepared to have a great time!
